Tea Pot Die Cut
Tag Die Cut
Flower and leaves Die Cuts
1/2 Round Flat Back Embellishment
Other Supplies
Kreaxions Punch # 903 with C insert

 I created this card by first adding my Graphic 45 paper to my card base. I then trimmed another piece of Graphic 45 and used Kreaxion punch with the C insert to create the corner punches. I added my Sin City Stamps Die cut tag, some faux stitching and a punched border strip which I created using Kreaxions punch. I added the Sin City Stamps die cut Tea Pot and flower to finish off the card. I hope you are inspired to create!

A rose for Mom


Hi Chris here and today I'd like to share this simple & quick MOM card I created for Sin City Stamps.

To create this card I started by adhereing a coordinating color of cardstock on the inside of my card.

Sweet Cupcake Card


Hi Chris here and today I am sharing this card I created for Sin City Stamps. To create this card I used
Sin City Stamps Supplies
Cupcake Die Cut Card
Other Supplies- Ribbon, McGill Tag punch, Tim Holtz Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink, Glossy Accents, WOW Glitter, Martha Stewart Glitter Flakes

I started by tracing to coordinaing cupcake swirl die cat to use as a guide for my glittering. 

I added my Glossy Accents along the traced lines and added my glitter in pink and green. Once that was complete I filled the rest of the "icing" in with Glossy ACcents and added my Martha Stewart Glitter. 

I lightly inked the cupcake "wrapper" using my Distress Ink. I stamped my greeting from Terri Sproul's Wish set onto my punched tag and added the tag and a ribbon to my card! The result... a cupcake that looks sweet enough to eat!

Imagination Mixed Media Canvas


Hi Chris here and today I am sharing my first mixed media canvas I created for Sin City Stamps. I want to say that this is so different from what I normally create but I loved the quote and I just let my imagination go!

Sin City Stamps Supplies
Die Cuts- Ballon, Frame, Flower Outline, Daisy Border Chain, Stars
Silver/Blue 1/2 Round Flat Back Embellishments

Other Supplies -  canvas, Gesso, Molding Paste, Beacon Fabric Adhesive, Glossy Accents, StazOn Ink (Brown), ColourArte Twinkling H2Os (yellow rose, sky blue, persimmon, moss green, blue bayou), miscellaneous small alphabet stamps, brown journaling pen. Graphic 45 Paper,  paper lace doily, sand paper

To create this canvas I started by first applying Gesso to my entire canvas. I then added some texture to my background by applying some molding paste over the Pattern 2 Stencil

I then added some patterned papers and die cuts onto the canvas. 
I continued layering a few more dies cuts and some lace.  You'll notice that the colors don't necessarily match.  That won't matter once I am done. 

In added my gear charms and bits of a paper doily and then applied gesso again over the whole project. 

I then stamped my Globes Stamp using my StazOn Ink. 



I then randomly painted my canvas using my ColourArte Twinkling H2Os. I just kept laying colors until I was satisfied.  I then painted my balloon with Twinkling H2Os


I then used a combination of my alphabet stamps and my journaling pen to add my quote. I topped the balloon with my butterfly button.  I then sanded my edges to smooth the edges and lightly sanded my gears to allow the metal to shine through. Once again here is my finished project. I hope you are inspired to step outside your comfort zone and create something!   Just let your imagination take you away!
